What changed last quarter

How the quarter compared with a year earlier

Comparing Q3 FY2026 (Jan to Mar 2026) compared with Q3 FY2025 (Jan to Mar 2025)

Each pair of bars shows the dollar amount for both quarters. Longer bar, more money. Bars in a group share one scale.

Q3 FY2026Q3 FY2025

This is the latest quarter with its own 10-Q. Fiscal 2026 has since ended, and companies report the fourth quarter only inside the annual 10-K (filed Aug 17, 2026), so the full-year figures above are newer than this comparison.

The bull case and the bear case

The bull case

  • Revenue rose 175.3% in fiscal 2026 to $20.2B, and Datacenter revenue grew 436.8%. 10-K, FY2026
  • Net income was $11.4B in fiscal 2026, after a loss of $1.6B in fiscal 2025. 10-K, FY2026
  • Operating cash flow was $11.7B in fiscal 2026. 10-K, FY2026

The bear case

  • It posted net losses in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025, so its record as a profitable company is short. 10-K, FY2026
  • Flash memory prices swing widely, and fiscal 2026 revenue reflects a period of strong demand. 10-K, FY2026
  • The 10-K lists memory price cycles, competition, its Kioxia joint venture and customer concentration among its risks. 10-K, Item 1A

What optimists and skeptics tend to point to, each tied to a filing. Ticker Sage doesn't pick a side, and neither list is a reason to buy or sell.

What the company does

Sandisk makes NAND flash memory and the products built on it: solid-state drives, memory cards, USB drives and flash chips. It separated from Western Digital in February 2025.

It sells flash storage for data centers, for PCs, phones and other devices (its Edge market), and to consumers under the SanDisk and WD brands. It makes flash wafers through a long-running joint venture with Kioxia in Japan.

Its fiscal year ends on the Friday nearest June 30.

Three years of key numbers

Every number links to its filing; hover for the XBRL tag. A dash means the number isn't cleanly available, and we don't estimate it.

  • Revenue: Sales of NAND flash memory products: solid-state drives, memory cards, USB drives and flash chips.
  • Net income: Profit after all costs and taxes.
  • Operating cash flow: Cash the business brought in from its day-to-day operations during the year (cash flow statement).
  • Cash & equivalents: Cash and short-term investments that count as cash equivalents on the balance sheet. Excludes longer-dated marketable securities.

About these numbers

  • Fiscal 2024 and early fiscal 2025 figures cover the flash business while it was part of Western Digital, as presented in Sandisk's filings.
  • End-market figures are revenue by market as reported, which add up to total revenue.
  • Fiscal 2026 ended Jul 3, 2026, after the latest 10-Q, so the latest quarter shown is the quarter ended Apr 3, 2026.

What we left out

  • Total debt: Sandisk reported no debt outstanding at the end of fiscal 2026, so the debt row is left out.

Each row is that company’s latest fiscal year from its own 10-K, using its own revenue and net income lines. Fiscal years end in different months, and line definitions differ (banks, insurers and oil companies count revenue differently), so this is a rough side-by-side, not a like-for-like comparison.
